As we get close to the IQD RV, I have been thinking about all the people that have made a difference for the good in my life and how I could somehow help them is some way. One was the Boys Club of Costa Mesa, California.
It was the one defining factor in both my brothers and my life. I’ll never forget that day when my brother and I entered the building to join. Membership was only $.25 cents then and we only had .35 cents between us. I told my younger brother to join and I’d join next week. From out of now ware a man walked up and gave us the extra money to join together.
We were at a dangerous period in our lives where (as said today) were heading to the Dark Side and a life that would have ended in crime and jail. However, we now had a place to go, supervised acclivities, sports and even a swimming pool. It did change our lives and made a difference. I have talked with others here in our little community and it looks like we will build a Boys & Girls Club for our youth and somehow I’m going to go back and try to say thank you with more than words to that one Boy’s club that changed our lives…

A Noble Man.
Thank you for your kindness. I think one of the greatest things one can do today is to support children in some way. Whether it be through mentoring, money or role modeling. I began working with several inner city balck kids 5 years ago when they were in the 6th grade. They are now excelling at a private high school and all 4 will go to college on athletic scholarships.

I would love to set up a program that would benefit children both financially and for their future careers, because i have absolutely no knowledge how to even begin, i am going to give to the children's miracle network and st. judes, I want to at least give by helping to keep our children healthy enough to enjoy whatever programs would benefit them in their futures, I am also going donate to hospice centers, they have helped two family members so far in their journeys, and I have never met such compassionate and self sacrificing individuals before, they need all the help they can get.
it can be said for all investors from the Arabs and foreigners, you enter now for it will be a golden opportunity for you.

A woman who works where I do met with several fifth graders years ago. these were inner-city youths who were on the road to *****, alcohol, and crime. She made them a deal: graduate from high school with no drug, alcohol, or criminal problems, and she would pay for college. She was not a millionaire. Just a hard working individual, but she sent 90% of those kids to college. Just think what we can do as dinarillionaires!

I think each of us will help those around us . . .even some of the people that skoffed at us for getting into this ultra high risk investment.
I have let my wind wander on many occasions playing the what if game and what I would do. Until I have the means to my dreams, its all a nice way to feel good about myself.
But what am I doing right now to change the world? Sadly not enough . . .Rv or not I can definitely do more. Thats my goal
